About One water poached large egg

A One Water Poached Large Egg is a versatile and simple dish made by gently cooking an egg in simmering water, preserving its delicate texture and flavor. Popular in global cuisines, it is often associated with European traditions, especially as a key ingredient in dishes like Eggs Benedict or grain bowls. This preparation method eliminates added fats like butter or oil, making it a lighter option compared to fried eggs. Nutritionally, a large poached egg is an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential vitamins such as B12 and D, and minerals like selenium and choline, which support energy production and brain health. While low in calories, eggs do contain cholesterol, so moderation is advised for individuals managing cholesterol intake. Perfect as a standalone item or paired with whole grains and vegetables, it offers nutritious benefits as part of a balanced diet.
